Kragujevac Social Press

The Kragujevac Social Press[1] or Kragujevac Social Printing Works[2] or Associated Printing Press of Kragujevac[3] was established in March 1873[4] by a group of progressive citizens,[1] Liberals and leftists.[2] Kragujevac was the most sophisticated of the provincial Serbian cities, and had an intelligentsia second only to Belgrade.[5] Among the founders were Sava Grujić, the president,[2] and Pavle Šafarik,[4] both members of the Main Board for Serb Liberation revolutionary organization led by socialist Jevrem Marković.[6][7] When Jovan Ristić fell out in early November 1873, new Interior Minister Aćim Čumić permitted for more freedom of press, leading the Kragujevac Social Press to start a Radical newspaper.[2] Svetozar Marković, a socialist and the younger brother of Jevrem Marković, accepted editorship.[7] Javnost ("The Public") became Serbia's second socialist newspaper.[2]
